Zach started his aviation dreams with Fred Webster his Young Eagle Pilot on a flight out of L45 on 06/2017. Zach soled on his 16th Birthday with Family and Friends attending on 08/11/2018. Zach balanced his flying while earning his Black Belt in Karate and maintaining a 4.2 GPA with all Honors Classes. Zachary was delayed due to the Pandemic that closed the BFC. He plans to take his parents flying soon. Please congratulate Zach when you see him around the BFC.
Huge Congrats to Jasper Flesche on earning his Private Pilot at BFC while finishing High School! Congratulate him if you see him at the club.
Big Congrats to a new private pilot, Everette Good on doing a good job on his Private Pilot Checkride!
Congrats to Dave Champness on completing his Private Pilot at the Bakersfield Flying Club!
Congratulations to Ed Tietjen and Courtney Risner who just got back from an Alaskan adventure where they both earned Airplane Single Engine Sea (ASES) ratings! The seaplane rating is one of the most fun ratings a pilot can earn, and can really test skills when operating in strong winds (there are no brakes) or over glassy water. Now both Ed and Courtney want to do back country training, and Alaska is the perfect place to go.
The Club will be open May 15, with a newly-refurbished N73977 and major upgrades to N73103! Be sure to read the new COVID Response Guide, sign the back page, and leave it in the tray in the hall at the office. Call your CFI for more instructions and re-opening review of new procedures. See you soon!
Congrats to Greg Witcher, on BFC’s newest Private Pilot!
He looks forward to flying with his family as most of them are pilots and also Skydive!
